User would like to cautiously examine the situation before chaning anything, so does: # fsck.ext4 -vn -B 1024 -b 8193 /dev/sde2 e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8). Clear? no fsck.ext4: Illegal inode number while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sde2 /dev/sde2: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors ********** # User assumes there is only that one little error, so then does the same command without the -n, and answers y, only to be met with another error that needs an answer, so he answer y again. Then another then another, now he wants to quit out with ^C ... which leaves filesystem even more wrecked. So there should be a "q" added and put into the prompt at each question, <RET,y,n,q,h(help)> that would allow him to quit out of who knows how many more questions. And of course -n or a new --show-all-questions should show all of what he will be getting asked, before he starts runing his disks! One could say /dev/sde2: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors ********** says that there are errors... but one thinks it is talking about that one error that we haven't fixed yet. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
